It i s celebrated worldwide on March 4 each year since 2020.\n\nSince then\, WF EO has co-led with UNESCO the annual World Engineer's Day celebrations on March 4\, federating the initiatives and events organized by its hundred o r so member institutions\, and organizing a major event each post-Covid ye ar (in 2022 in Costa Rica\, in 2023 in Spain\, in 2024 in Portugal and in 2025 in Paris\, at the UNESCO Headquarters). \n\nThis year\, the theme is "Smart engineering for sustainable future through innovation and digitali zation" and the main event will be held from March 3 to 5 at Balai Kartini Ball Room in Jakarta\, hosted by our National Member for Indonesia\, the Institution Engineers Indonesia (PII). The website is wed2026.id.\n\nThe e vent will give the floor to leading governmental\, scientific and entrepre neurial figures\, to illustrate the diversity of issues and contributions linking the engineering profession to the United Nations' Sustainable Deve lopment Goals. \n\nAs a most popular feature of WFEO’s organizing WED\, the WFEO Hackathon came back. We have received over 270 team submissions - 100 more than last year - and the winner team will be announced on 04 Mar ch.\n\nWe trust that you will be hosting WED events in your country and re gion all around the world\, to acknowledge and illustrate the key role and the contributions of engineering to sustainable development\, to attract the public to support engineering development and to increase the social r ecognition of engineers. \n\nMore information to register your WED event a nd to be listed on the global events portal is available by clicking on th e "Events" tab in the WED website.\n\n \;\nFor more information:\n\n W orld Engineering Day website\n\n World Engineering Day main event website\ n\n World Engineering Day information meeting - 9 December 2025\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wfeo.org/wp-content/uploads/WED2026_ jakarta_Logo_2026-01-29.jpeg CATEGORIES:UNESCO event,WFEO event,WFEO member event END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
